But today she got to visit with her brother, and sisters... 
which made her very happy! 
she might also be smiling because she got off one of her medications and she is now up to 4ccs an hour on her feeds and those increase by one cc every 8 hours now instead of every 12. so her belly is able to handle the increased feeds which means...wait for it...they will be able to take out her ra line tomorrow. That is the line that goes right into her heart. and when that is out... WE GET TO HOLD HER! there is a good chance tomorrow this little babe will be in our arms!
that is a couple of days sooner than we most recently thought and a week sooner than we initially thought. win.
she is doing so well.
Yay! Best news I have heard all day! I am so happy you get to hold her so soon, and I bet she will be so happy too:)
ReplyDeleteWe read your blog out loud with Becca, GGma, Ggpa, Aunt Melanie, Uncle Brad, John and Thomas in the room....needless to say, I got choked up as did Becca (and I'm pretty sure others in the room did to except for John....don't think he gets what's up!

ReplyDeleteMauri, She is so beautiful. I'm glad things are going well for you and sweet little Darla Jane. It seems like just yesterday that I was hearing all the same things with Melanie's little boy. He is doing SO well and I know that Darla will do SO good too. Good luck and best wishes. Love to you and your family.
